    On the reverse the "N" in UNITED isn't the correct font for a genuine 09SVDB so that alone makes it a phony.
    On the obverse it appears that someone tried to add an "S" mint mark, had trouble getting it into position, and the font looks more like a "5".
    That's why I titled the thread "An Altered 09P-VDB.

    Keep in mind that a counterfeit isn't in any form a genuine coins,
    in this case it is a genuine US coin, its been altered by adding a mint mark.
    Thanks for following!

    That was the other one.... this one is still active.
    Maybe 10 messages to this seller will help.

    I was referring to the OTHER one,
    Meaning that ebay yank the listing, unrelated to your many direct messages, so, the 10 number was another seller wasn't going to do the right thing so it fell back to fleabay LoL!
    Sorry for not a better lead into the inside humor, I'll do better next time ;)

    I don't know about that, but it does seem you've got (maintained) a much better life in general attitude than I've, I'm broken in that area LoL!
    I'm going to up the leverage on the coin in the OP here!
